What this shows Ideal's Innovation Score is 33.6/100 (45th percentile of the PatentsView-derived corpus). The chart places that score against the nearest Innovation Score peers plus corpus poles, not a reprint of the volume ranking.

Does more volume mean deeper claims for Ideal?

Each dot is one of Ideal’s 8 nearest volume peers (same corpus rank neighbourhood as the chart above), placed by total granted patents (horizontal) against average claims per patent (vertical). Ideal’s own 17.5 claims/patent is ABOVE the 9.4 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Ideal's grants concentrate

Ideal Clamp Products, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under F16L (PIPES; Joints OR Fittings FOR PIPES; Supports FOR Pipes, Cables OR Protective TUBING; Means FOR Thermal Insulation IN General). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Ideal sits between Italdesign Giugiaro S.P.A. and Impact Engine, Inc..

Ideal's three-year grant acceleration

Ideal Clamp Products, Inc. shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 in 2019–2021. That prior window is too thin for a growth multiple (rename and spin-out assignees look artificially high when the baseline is near zero), so PlainPatent withholds a ranked acceleration claim here.
